FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I don’t like cilantro; can I use something else?
Sure, fresh dill is a great substitute. If you go this route, I suggest using lemon juice in place of lime to compliment the flavor; parsley is another tasty alternative to freshen up our cucumber avocado and tomato salad.
What can I add to the salad?
- Mozzarella
- Corn
- Red Onions
- Feta
- Basil
- Spinach
- Arugula
- Lemon Juice
Can I make cucumber avocado and tomato salad ahead of time?
Sure, make the salad a day before, but I suggest leaving the avocado out of it. When you’re ready to serve, cut your avocado and fold the pieces into the rest of your salad.
How should I store the leftovers?
Store salad in an air-tight container; I love putting leftover salad in a mason jar for a quick lunch the next day. This salad will keep in the fridge for up to 3 days.
